For what it's worth, on my workstation machine, nvidia's drivers freeze up all the time, even in 2d. It's either a temperature issue or irq sharing issue. I think it's temperature, except that I rarely use opengl stuff on it, and without the nvidia drivers, my X never locks up. When nvidia's X locks up, I can ssh it in and kill X (which is running at 100% when the console freezes--also the gpu is burning hot). The logs have never given me anything useful. -- Michael L Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
